The jury deciding Bill Cosby's fate deliberated into a second evening Tuesday after focusing on the actor's first-hand description of his interactions with accuser Andrea Constand.

In questions to Montgomery County Judge Steven T. O'Neill, the sequestered panel asked to review details of Constand's first statements to police and for a definition of a phrase in the third count brought against Cosby.

Count three alleges Cosby engaged in “penetration” of Constand after administering or employing “without the knowledge of the complainant” drugs or intoxicants that “substantially impaired” her ability to control her conduct or resist.

Jurors wanted more explanation of what constituted “without (her) knowledge.”

In the passage that jurors zeroed in on, Cosby recalled leaving Constand to sleep on a couch inside his five-bedroom mansion.

The jury also zeroed in on more than a dozen passages from depositions Cosby gave in Constand's 2005 civil lawsuit.

They listened carefully as Judge O'Neill re-read their requested passages, including one in which the comedian creepily described groping at Constand's midriff and reaching down toward her “question zone.”

“I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection. I am not stopped,” Cosby said.

Constand, 44, claims Cosby knew she had an aversion to pharmaceutical drugs and assured her the pills were “herbal”. She claims the pills caused her vision to blur, her speech to slur and her body to feel virtually paralyzed.

It was while she was in this incapacitated state that Cosby groped her breasts, penetrated her vagina with his fingers and forced her to touch his penis, she testified last week.

Cosby, 79, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated indecent assault, claiming his encounter with Constand was consensual. Each count carries up to 10 years in prison.

In a stunt that shocked some legal observers, Cosby's spokesman Andrew Wyatt released a printed statement from an alleged Constand co-worker who was not allowed to testify at trial.

The statement from Temple University student advisor Marguerite Jackson claimed Constand once told her that a high-profile person had drugged and sexually assaulted her.

Jackson claimed that when she pressed Constand on the matter, the former manager of operations for Temple's women's basketball team recanted her story and said nothing actually happened but that she could still file a civil suit, "get the money, go to school and open a business."
